Ghrelin - Hormone

We have already spoken of ghrelin, a hormone released in the stomach, which increases the signals of hunger and appetite stimulating food intake. Today we show you how to control the appetite at bay while maintaining levels of ghrelin in the body.
While we cannot eliminate this substance of our body, if we can temper their production in the stomach and thus, better control the quantity and quality of what we eat, because if the ghrelin does not rise significantly in the body, do not feel so many desire to eat.
Thus, we must take into account to keep the levels of ghrelin and control the appetite:
Do not spend more than 4 hours without eating, because when you get to the three hours without intake levels of ghrelin begin to increase, thus increasing, the level of hunger and appetite.
Do not skip meals and avoid the whole fasting, as these conditions significantly raised levels of ghrelin and increase as a result, the wishes of ingesting food.
Isocaloric diets avoid strict that by reducing the caloric income can produce a substantial increase in the levels of ghrelin, triggering the search for food and increasing the desire to eat.
Enough Sleep each day, because a wrong rest or sleep disorders alter the levels of ghrelin, increasing their expression and producing more appetite.
Regular exercise, because not only increases the levels of leptin that favors the satiety and decreases hunger, but that reduces the levels of ghrelin, helping to control what we eat.
As we can see, to know the hormones that affect our food intake can be of great help to avoid attacks and soundness of hunger at the time of eating. Now you know how to control the appetite at bay while maintaining levels of ghrelin.
